Android Studio is the official IDE for Android application development. Based on JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA software, Studio is designed specifically for Android development. The functions and tools in Studio are tailored for Android developers, to better your apps and workflow by providing necessities in a clean layout and well organized manner.

Android Studio is available for download on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Version 1 was released in December 2014, so this is truly a cutting edge new way of developing Android apps, from Google themselves.

Ersin Ertan is a freelance Android Developer and hobbyist involved in all parts of the Android ecosystem.

Ersin’s believes the best way to learn is through practical application with a healthy dose of theory mixed in.
